When I got Mortal Kombat, I was really excited, I'm still playing it a lot four weeks on but there is a problem, I can't take it online.

At first I couldn't do it due to the PSN outage, then it came back, and I activated my trial.

Everytime I try and play online the following happens:

"Checking Server Availability" > "Lobby" > Disconnect.

It says to check my connections, because something isn't connected.

But, the whole time I'm signed into PSN (It never signs me out) and that same PS3 plays hours upon hours of Black Ops without a single disconnect. The other PS3 in the house does the same with MK.

I live in Australia, if that matters. My cousin has similar issues, though he plays a few fights but often disconnects. A friend of mine has played online with few issues, he had the same one I did, he kept trying to select "online" and eentually got in, Doesn't work for me.

Has anyone had this issue? Any tips for fixing it? I'm really hanging to get online.

server issue?

It may be that their servers are overloaded with people playing. I haven't gotten any issues going online using the trial. Netherealms did make it an exception so that you dont need to activate anything to play online until the PSN store goes back online. Have you tried playing at different hours where there might be less people online?

Not exactly sure

Maybe

I thought that, But I've heard a lot of stories from Australians who are successfully going online and playing it, and only experiencing the issues that gamers worldwide are having (lag) including people I personally know.
